I'm smoking for my first time (marijuana) on monday, I cant smoke at home, because.. well, parents! haha (I'm 16) I was thinking about just being like "I'm going to 711, be back soon" then walk there down this short little trail, and smoke it threw there, then go to 711 and buy a slurpee or some shit, just for evidence that i went.. haha, then walk back home. But, some questions.. The trail im going threw is pretty short, and kind of open, but not many people walk threw it, just crack heads and other drugies.. haha! I live in Canada, BC, would people really care if they saw me smoking some weed you think? How long does the smell last? if i smoke it while walking there, then finish and go inside, buy some stuff, then walk all the way back home, will i still smell like pot? (its about a 10min walk each way) How obvious is it when your high on weed? do pupils dilate?
nobody will care if your smokin weed on the trail, but regardless try and be discrete about it the smell isnt going to last long, especially since your not going to be in an enclosed space. however, wash your hands when you get to the 7-11. also buy a bottle of clear-eyes at 7-11 and put it in on the way home and you'll be all good... the only other challenge you face is acting straight.. pot (especially good pot) is intense with no tolerance. dont put yourself in a situation where you will be forced to confront and talk to your parents for any considerable amount of time.. you may freak out, or do something stupid that easily tips them off to you being ripped.
just wait till you can be in a totally non-stressful atmosphere for your first time. It will be more pleasant. Plus you probably won't feel "high" the first time, as many don't. no need to rush it. wait for a perfect place with friends. good luck
Thanks for the tips, another question.. How long does it take to get "high" like, do you need to smoke the whole joint? or is it just like a few inhales? Also, I've never smoked anything befour, not even cigs or anything, does it burn? I always thought it would burn.. smoke going into your lungs? is it painful? haha! i know this might be a stupid question.. but hey, just making sure.. I know cigs make you cough and stuff when your a new smoker, does weed do the same? EDIT: I also forgot to ask, How long does it take for the high to kick in, is it instant? or does it take like an hour or so.. basically, by the time i get home, will i already be high? And how long does it last?
Find a quiet, isolated place on the trail, have a book - so you can pretend, if "caught", and blaze 1/2, on down, hold it in. period. squat down, like you are looking for something on the ground too...that's sort of innocuous. Be discreet, as they said. You'll cough at the time, maybe; but, unless something else is wrong with you that should be about it. It won't last terribly long; but be prepared to munch. enjoy!
It will probably slightly burn and may make you cough. The high can come on in about 10 mins or so with a joint, take some decent sized tokes. The high lasts ~4 hours.
i wouldnt use the 7-11 excuse, thatd be a lil too short. just say youre going to hang with your friends so that you can just chill. the smell isnt an issue. as long as you take a walk or just wait a while before going back home. and if you dont feel anything the first time, thats normal. it'll just make you cough a lot. and thats normal and good. take multiple hits and just hold the smoke in as long as you can. youre probably not gonna feel anything but lightheadedness unless you smoke a lot your first time. if you do go home, i suggest just puttin on some headphones and chillin.
2 things. visine and breathe mint. you'l be fine. as for smelling just blow smoke away from you and dont get it on your clothes
Does anybody know why you dont get high your first time? I've herd of this as well, but i dont get why, is it just because first-timers dont know how to inhale properly? or is there actually some scientifical reason behind it?
Its probably a mix of both, I smoked a joint my first time and didn't get high but 20 minutes later I smoked from a bong and got STONED! So its probably flawed smoking technique coupled with initial resistance from the cannibinoid receptors prevents people from getting high. You'll get more smoke quicker from a bong vs. A joint or pipe so I reccommend that if you have the option.
i did not get high my first time. personally, i think all 'first times' should be treated similarly. you should be with someone you trust. you should be comfortable and at low risk of being disturbed. the reason i think you should do that even with something as innocuous as weed is that it is possible to be allergic to it. ive known 2 people with a weed allergy. so i highly recommend hanging out with a friend who can also answer your questions and show you what to do. i do not like joints, i find i have more control with a pipe.
Smoking in the bathroom with the hot shower on and waiting a moment is quite ok if you have to smoke in places like prison, hospital where you cant get out
I remember my first time. My friend, from down the block brought a joint over and my parents weren't at home, so we smoked it out at the garage, in the back yard. When he left, shortly afterward, I went back in the house and began listening to music. It was a completely new experience, as I could now hear every part, the bass, the treble, each instrument stood out, and I could hear each one, rather than just a combination of all of the above. It was an entirely wonderful and enlightening experience for me, especially musically speaking. Oh, and masturbation was intense. But I think you won't be able to keep it from your parents that well. There are certain things we do when we're stoned that are just too difficult to cover up, and even in the attempt to cover up there are certain new and different behaviors. Parents get to know their children, and their behavior, and can detect subtle changes, so it's really going to be difficult, and if you do try to deceive your parents, they will pick up on that too. Eventually, you will find that they resent the deception, and the distancing behaviors you take on from wanting to get high all the time. I would suggest a time when they won't be checking you out. Just know that one day, they will know. It's inevitable.
Don't do this before you have something to do. Your first time you don't know WHAT'S going to happen (or your first time getting high, remember you might not get high your first time smoking) You should be fine, but some people have panic attacks or something if they get TOO high (probably won't happen, but possible) and if this happened around your parents it would be very obvious and very bad looking. Get a feel for yourself and this drug when you're NOT expected anywhere, and when you can have a few hours, or even a day, to yourself, with no appointments or anything with anyone. For YEARS after I started smoking, and really still, I didn't like being around my parents for many hours after smoking. You will probably be down in around 4 hours, but you'll feel it for more like 8+, if you get really high. Chill on this, set and setting are important and if your first time involves social pressure, you will probably have a bad time and get caught.
Totally off topic but I was always jealous that we don't have 7-11's here so no slurpees until I found out that they are the same thing as icees. Slush Puppies own all though. Not the kind already mixed up either. The old school machines where you made your own. God damn it, I am going to get a slush puppy tmw. Oooh and my families snoball stand is opening soon too. I wanna sour cherry snoball. /terminate thread-jack
Cold drinks have a tendency to bring you down quickly, as does eating, or jumping into the cold ocean water. That's why, after having done such things, people tend to want to smoke another bowl or joint. Things involving breathing, like playing harmonica or saxophone tend to enhance and support the high, as does dancing, or various forms of rhythmic exercise. Anything to get the blood flowing. However, you may also find your heart rate increased measurably, one of the by-products of getting high. Doing cocaine also does this, but dangerously so. You can easily die on cocaine. I had a friend that did some cocaine, and called me up in a panic, thinking he was about to die, his heart rate had increased so much. He came over, and I helped to calm him down and re-assure him. I was just hoping he didn't die at my place, in spite of my re-assurance. On pot, everything and anything can take on a comic perspective, and you will laugh, often uncontrollably. It's a dead give-away that you're high. You'll laugh so hard that you'll spit your food or drink right outta your mouth, hopefully not all over your mom or dad. Be careful not to choke on your food.
Lmfao! I literally couldnt even stop laughing for minutes after reading that.. and i haven't even smoked the weed yet! hahaha
